5 Casual Chic T-Shirts

August 14, 2012 in Fashion

While doing my research for the Celebrity Chic: Gwen Stefani post the other week, I couldn’t help but notice the incredible array of super cute t-shirts out there.

It got me thinking about how I used to be obsessed with printed tees. In particular, I had 3 awesome Sass and Bide tees that I used to rock with a denim skirt and Havi’s during the day and with jeans and heels on a night out. In fact, I happened to be wearing a printed t-shirt the night I met my now-fiancé. It was a hot pink tee with white writing that said ‘WILL WORK FOR SHOES’…!

I seemed to have drifted away from tees in the past few years, but looks like my research and reminiscing may have reignited my love for them.

The beauty of a great t-shirt is its versatility. It can be dressed down for day with shorts, a skirt or jeans and flats, or dressed up for night with a fabulous pair of dark skinny jeans, a blazer, statement necklace and heels.

Here are 5 tees that will take you from casual to chic…

1. Cotton On ‘Whip’ Tee in Grey ($19.95)

2. Topshop Floral Oversized Tee ($53.49)

3. ASOS ‘Meow’ Tee ($22.77)

4. ModCloth ‘Girl Fox’ Tee ($29.99)

5. Miss Brown ‘Rock’ Tee from General Pants ($59.95)

Have you got a favourite t-shirt you love to wear? How do you like to style your t-shirt? Tell us all about it!

Stay Chic,

Answer Me Chic: Top Your Winter

April 24, 2012 in Fashion

With Winter popping its head around the corner, we received a tweet from Steph of Lipstick & Cake:

“Hi @ShopMeChic! I need your help. Looking for casual tops for winter (not jumpers though). Suggestions?”

Winter is the best season for layering, so a big thick jumper is not always necessary. Here are some gorgeous Winter tops that you can make work for you…

Raglan Tees

Cute and casual, raglan tees have a sporty feel and look great with a pair of jeans, a vest and some Converse sneakers.

Stussy ‘Rowery’ Raglan from General Pants ($59.95)

All About Eve ‘Westside’ Raglan from The Iconic ($49.95)

Mad Love ‘Mi Amigo’ Raglan from SurfStitch ($69.95)

The Tunic

The tunic is a personal favourite of mine. It looks fabulous on its own or over leggings, tights or jeans. A versatile piece that every woman should definitely have in her wardrobe as it suits most body types. Belt it, wear it loose…whatever your choice, embrace the tunic!!

Katies 3/4 Sleeve Animal Print Tunic ($49.95)

Sportsgirl Bretton Stripe Tunic ($59.95)

Mossée Scoop Neck Ruffle Side Tunic from The Iconic ($175.95)

Oversized Shirt

And another favourite of mine…!! The oversized shirt can either be casual or dressy, worn to work during the week or socialising on the weekend. Here are a few that can be worn whenever, wherever.

 Bardot ‘Palermo’ Blouse ($69.95)

Yarra Trail ‘Abstract’ Shirt from Birdsnest ($109.00)

Sussan Pintuck Check Shirt ($79.95)

The Kaftan

Who says a kaftan has to be restricted to the beach and holidays in Bali?! The kaftan has a part-boho, part-rock’n'roll vibe to it and can be paired with leggings, jeans or leather pants. Shake it up and try rocking a kaftan.

Suboo ‘Laguna Beach’ Mini Kaftan from The Iconic ($249.00)

Boom Shankar ‘Nenni Kurta’ Kaftan from Birdsnest ($79.00)

Camilla ‘Fethiye’ Lace Up Kaftan ($429.00)

There you go Steph, four different alternatives to a jumper. Hopefully this post has inspired your Winter wardrobe just a little.

Colour Me Chic…Turquoise

April 19, 2012 in Beauty, Fashion

This is a brand new post in the Shop Me Chic collection!!

Colour Me Chic will take a different colour and pick the very best fashion, accessories and beauty products in that particular colour.

Today, we’re colouring your world turquoise!!

The gemstone turquoise represents the star sign Sagittarius. The phrase “The Turquoise” refers to the waters of the Caribbean. In holistic medicine, the colour turquoise purportedly has a calming effect on patients. And the colour turquoise plays an important role in the Shop Me Chic logo.

Who knew this gorgeous little colour had so many purposes?!  Now let’s put it to good use the best way we know how…

OPI Nail Lacquer ’Fly’ by Nicki Minaj from Salon Style ($16.96)

MAC ‘Aquadisiac’ Eye Shadow ($33.00)

Illamasqua ‘Strike’ Nail Varnish (approx $21.43)

Turquoise is such a striking colour that really pops on nails and eyes. And if you’re feeling particularly daring – Illamasqua also does a turquoise lipstick. Would you??

Shabby Sisters ‘Turq Drop’ Earrings ($50.00)

Wild Bling ‘Lucite Crystal Choker’ ($49.00)

Luxe by Lulu ‘Cara’ Bracelet from the Amalfi Collection ($13.20)

It’s so easy – and fun – to rock super bright turquoise jewellery. And it was for this very reason I chose more subdued pieces, with the exception of the amazing Wild Bling choker, which I would save for weekend fun. The more understated pieces can be worn to work…as well as on the weekend.

Agent Ninetynine Slouchy Beanie from General Pants ($19.95)

Billabong Beanie Band from SurfStitch ($19.99)

NewUrban Mia Felt Fedora Hat (approx $68.75)

A fun and unexpected way to incorporate turquoise into your outfit is with headwear. A beanie, a headband or a hat…pop it on your head for a pop of colour!!

Forver New ‘Maley Paper Bag Short’ ($59.99)

ASOS Mini Dress With Contrast Piping ($58.00)

Sportsgirl ‘Cocoon Coat’ ($169.95)

Turquoise is one of the beautiful jewel tones hitting stores this winter and here are three different ways to incorporate this colour into your wardrobe. Such a gem of a colour!!

Tony Bianco ‘Fryer’ Heel ($169.95)

Wittner ‘Lee Lee’ Ballet Flat ($99.95)

Zu ‘Empress’ Heel ($150.00)

I love a coloured shoe to add a point of interest to an outfit. These gorgeous heels would be the ultimate exclamation point at the end of a fashion sentence…!!

ASOS Paul’s Boutique Satchel ($115.99)

Forever New ‘Sigourney’ Clutch ($24.99)

Colette Accessories ‘Minnie Square Turnlock Crossbody’ ($29.95)

And finally grab the finishing touch to your outfit before you head out the door – a lovely turquoise bag to carry you through Winter.

There you have it ladies. Are you all turquoised out now? No? Good!! Make sure you get into one of the most beautiful colours of the season.

What colour do you want to see featured next in Colour Me Chic?
